WELCOME to the personal home page/blog of Matthew La France. Please enjoy your stay.
Surprisingly, Battle Golfer Yui is nearing completion. After finishing up the initial script translation, I ended up getting in contact with Supper who I'd noticed was doing some hacking on a Mega Drive Sailor Moon game. They agreed to take a look at Yui with me and progress has been brisk. Release soon(ish)?
Additionally, I've had some interest expressed in a few scripts, namely Outlanders, and Idol Hakkenden. The former is complete thanks to Eien ni Hen, and it's possible someone will be stepping up to insert the script; the latter is currently being looked at by another translator for translation.
I'd also encourage folks to continue to keep an eye out for the release of Princess Minerva. Beta is (has?) wrapping up, and a release is imminent pending some bug fixes.
I've been surprisingly busy over the past couple of months with translation projects.
For starters, I completed an English translated script for Hello Dracula 2 (a.k.a. Kyonshiizu 2), an early action/adventure game for the Famicom. The Hello Dracula 2 script package is currently available for use in an English, or other language translation patch. Bob789 has offered to look at script insertion so hopefully that pans out.
Next up is Outlanders, also for the Famicom. This was translated by Eien ni Hen (many thanks!), and has also been provided as an English Translated Script Package. If you're interested in working on this project, please follow the link for more information.
I also took a look at Battle Golfer Yui for the Mega Drive on a whim. I managed to dump a script which I'm currently messing around translating while it's fresh in my mind.
In other news, Princess Minerva has entered closed beta. We're hopeful for a release this year, pending play-tester reports.
That's all I'm going to share for now. I hope folks are looking forward to what will hopefully be one or two finished projects via Dynamic-Designs soon. Otherwise, please feel free to grab script packages, or contact me regarding technical work on completed scripts.
Nice! Hope you find willing hackers who could help you insert these scripts. :)
Speaking of interesting games... I've recently checked out an Ushio and Tora RPG for the FC; it didn't seem very text-heavy for an RPG, and it sure had some really amazing music/visuals for that console. Was just curious if you've ever checked that one out, as it definitely stands out with its cutscene-animated battle sequences. From what I could gather though, it wasn't an original story or anything, it mostly just followed the original plot...
Another script translated! This time I dumped and translated an English language script for City Adventure Touch, an odd adventure game that needlessly uses a license for the characters from the famous baseball manga, "Touch".
This was part of an effort to assist an initiative to translate early Famicom games on RHDN. To that end, I've dumped a number of scripts for other Famicom titles including: Outlanders, Uchuusen Cosmo Carrier, Mezase Pachi Pro - Pachio-kun, SWAT and, Kyonshiizu 2. Incidentally, I ended up translating most of the Kyonshiizu 2 script into English so that one is almost finished.
Additionally, I've picked up a couple of projects semi-related to this work. KingMike got a hold of me about Kagerou Densetsu and Billiards which I will be taking a look at.
Whew! I'm still technically focusing on Power Dolls 3 (PC) and Maison Ikkoku (FC) which I expect to be finished up before too long.
